I called Kuryakyn and explained the situation. They did not have any answer other than to try it one more time. It is the correct isolator for my ride and five wire hook up. So I guess I will see about exchanging it.
You need to test it with a volt meter or icepick current tester, before you do anything else.

PoorUB

Yeah, next time I will test it all before I hook up the trailer. It's funny because the trailer lights work on on a battery.
I am an adult?? When did that happen, and how do I make it stop?!

The company I bought the isolator from asked for the second unit back and they will issue a credit. I ordered the Krome Werks from Apols HD where Tomcat works. I told him if it does not work I am going down to see him!

I will need to rewire to the trailer to a 4 wire system, conventional automotive style lighting. I needed to do something different for turn signal lights anyway.

I will let all my friends know that I heard it right from the manager at Apols that they don't want our business any longer! :potstir: :hyst:

Well Tom, ya did me good. :baby:
I plugged in the isolator and tested the output of the harness with a test light. All good. Wired in the trailer connectors and all is well. I thought I was getting a 4 wire harness, it was a 5 wire harness so I left the wiring on the trailer alone other than replacing the turn signals. One thing I like is both turns act like brake lights unless one of the turn signals are on, of course that one blinks, but the other stays on solid, so more brake lights on the rear, which is a good thing!

Got a '15 FLHTKL and a completely refurbished(looks like new) 1996 Champion Colorado Touring Trailer. Converted all the lighting over to LED and used, from Rivco Products: HD70074 Hidden Hitch, GL18007-IU Universal Isolator and a HD007-50 CAN-bus decoder.  Installed all everything works like it's suppose to. Simple as pie.
